In tonight’s episode, what happened 15 years ago takes center stage even as we are treated to a wonderful performance by Mark Hamill in the present day timeline…and if you thought you knew everything about that night, do we have surprises for you! All this and more, in an outstanding episode of THE FLASH!
SPOILERS AFTER THE JUMP
There’s no episode of The Flash next week, but these two clips may tide you over for now. They’re both extremely spoilery, especially if you haven’t watched tonight’s episode yet. Be sure to watch that first.
More behind the jump.
Flash: A Celebration of 75 Years arrives in stores on Wednesday. The $40, 480-page hardcover* collection features stories of all the major Flashes, from Jay Garrick to Barry Allen to Wally West to Bart Allen and back to Barry again, from the Golden Age through the New 52.
We looked at the stories included a few weeks ago — feel free to check out the list, our commentary, and join in on the discussion.
Update: To clear up a little confusion that came up on the Facebook thread, the book ships to comic stores this Wednesday. Bookstores get new releases on Tuesdays, so Amazon and other stores that get it on the bookstore schedule will have it next Tuesday.
*DC’s website says softcover, but Previews World and Amazon both say hardcover, and given the page count, I’m inclined to believe the latter until I see a copy.
This week marks the return of Mark Hamill as the Trickster in The Flash series, and the CW has a sneak peek at the episode with commentary by showrunner Andrew Kreisberg. There are spoilers, naturally.

Spoilers behind the jump.
Among DC’s Joker variant covers for June, including Flash #41 by Eddy Barrows and Marcelo Maiolo.
This issue is titled, “The End of the Road”…but while the Future Flash story line IS wrapped up here we get some major developments that begin a whole new chapter in the life of Barry Allen. This is an issue you WILL want to read more than once, one of the best issues in the Venditti-Jensen-Booth era of our favorite speedster!
